Science and Humanity: A Review of C.P. Snow's "The Two Cultures"
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of C.P. Snow's belief that our society is split into two separate components: an artistic component and a scientific component. Snow believed that the responsibility of healing all of the world's wounds fell to scientists. He believed that technology should be promulgated to all regions of the world regardless of the humanistic and environmental impacts of that technology. This paper presents the contrasting views of Jacob Bronowski and Frank Raymond Leavis and points to hydroelectric dams as evidence that technology is not always the most optimal solution. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Science: The Only Viable Way To Knowledge?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Scientific knowledge has long been purported as the only viable means by which mankind truly knows how and if something exists; without empirical proof, a given entity's existence is merely speculative at best. To rely upon any other way of knowing - emotions, reason, language, perception - is to grasp at straws, because tangibility is the key component to whether or not is real. The problem with this stringency, however, is how the scientific community refuses to take into account the very elements of man's sense perception and communicative abilities as equally feasible ways by which to acquire knowledge instead of immediately discounting any value in humanity's innate capacity for acquiring wisdom through any other means, not the least of which includes religion. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Scientific And Philosophic Explanation Of The 1755 Lisbon Earthquake
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Science and philosophy do not make the best bedfellows, however, when the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 set off a series of natural disasters, the two very distinct and often contrary entities came together as a means by which to offer explanation. Nearly leveled to the ground almost two-and-a-half centuries ago, Lisbon was thought by many theologians to be paying for a significant spiritual debt, while the scientific community took a decidedly more logical approach to explanation. Among those who spoke for the philosophical community, Kant, Voltaire and Rousseau were instrumental in engaging in esoteric rationalization; Tobias Mayer, German mathematician Johann Friedrich Jacobi, Johann Gottlob Krüger and John Michell all took the side of irrefutable objective reasoning. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Scientific Realism and the “No Miracles” Argument
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses what scientific realism is and how it applies to what Hilary Putnam defined in 1975 as the “no miracles” argument. The argument, also referred to as the “ultimate argument” is thought of as the primary philosophical argument in favor of scientific realism. Traditional scientific realism presents very singular opinions regarding scientific hypotheses, theoretical entities, and scientific understanding: theories in, at least, mature sciences are typically and for the most part true. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
